This study used a convergent mixed-methods to assess how well behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs predict the use of technology within developmental mathematics courses. The Theory of Planned Behavior provided the theoretical framework for this study. The sample consisted of developmental mathematics instructors from across…

There is emerging evidence that professional noticing is embodied. Yet, there is still a need to better under embodied noticing at a fundamental level, especially from the preservice teachers. This study used traditional and holographic video, along with eye-tracking technology, to examine how preservice teachers' physical act of looking interacts…

As part of a longitudinal study focused on mathematical play, we (Melissa, Amy, and Anita) are often faced with questions about what counts as play and what mathematics (and other learning) we see in play, and whose play is most likely to be seen or dismissed. Rather than discuss our findings from classroom videos of kindergarten children engaged…

In today's world, where digitalization is inevitable and necessary, it is extremely important to raise individuals with digital competence. For this reason, it is of great importance that textbooks, which are important instruments of the education environment, are prepared in a way that contributes to digital competence skills. The aim of the…

This short article continues the exploration of the Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP) and statistics begun in the previous article "Statistical Investigations and CODAP, Part 1: EDA." In Part 2, the author discusses the teaching of statistical inference focusing on activities for the senior secondary years. In particular, the…

Mathematical modelling has acquired relevance at all educational levels in the last decades since integrating this activity in instruction provides significant contexts for improving students' learning, including in linear algebra courses that have a notable presence in many undergraduate courses from different fields, including engineering and…

The purpose of this critical review is to explore international perspectives on the analysis of the content of developed mathematics textbooks. This led us to explore the contributions to our knowledge of the compatibility of the content of the developed mathematics textbooks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) with the standards of the National…

Studying the effectiveness of remedial courses in higher education has attracted a lot of interest from educational researchers and practitioners. Remediation is associated with significant economic and social costs while the results are usually dubious. In this paper, we apply a widely used method called Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) to…

There is a need to increase mathematics achievement in U.S. schools, as only 41% of students in Grade 4, 34% of students in Grade 8, and 25% of students in Grade 12 have reached proficiency in mathematics (NAEP, 2019). Building acquisition and fluency with basic math facts has been identified as an important indicator of math achievement, as this…

Algebraic thinking is a method of solving math problems that stresses the significance of general connections. Excellent algebraic thinking necessitates strong symbolization and generalization ability. Students aged 7 to 15 are at the Piaget thinking stage's formal operational stage. Teachers, especially those working with secondary school…

The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of the questions in an 8th grade mathematics textbook in terms of the categories (mathematical content, mathematical literacy contexts, mathematical processes, PISA mathematics proficiency scale levels, and item types) within the PISA mathematics literacy framework. Investigation of the…

Preservice elementary school teachers are under ever increasing pressure to deliver quality mathematics instruction to their students. Mathematics anxiety and mathematics teacher efficacy are constructs that are commonly measured in preservice elementary school teachers and are used to help identify future challenges these preservice teachers…

Universities are encouraging the implementation of innovative methodologies and teaching strategies to develop an interactive and appealing educational environment where students are the focus of the learning process. In such a personalised learning environment, an increase of the students' engagement and the improvement of the outcomes arise.…

We report on questionnaire data gathered from teacher participants (n = 100) following their participation in the project, Exploring Mathematical Sequences of Connected, Cumulative and Challenging Tasks. Teachers shared their views about the effectiveness of various instructional approaches to support differentiation in mathematics, including…

Zero has been philosophically and symbolically interpreted differently from other numbers throughout history. While it is foundational to all mathematics, in early grades, it is denounced as representing "nothing." In this study, the understanding of zero among students with learning disabilities (LD) and no learning disabilities (NLD)…
